Vanessa – The Box

Artist Statement

My photograph is about how people are put into stereotypical boxes when it comes to their gender and abilities. It is about how people categorize you and force you into a box. This photograph unveils my feelings of frustration of being trapped and having nowhere to go or nowhere to escape to. I hope to convey an understanding of different genders and how people identify. I’d like people to treat each other as equals and know that everyone has something to offer.
